Title Research: American Horror Story

I am watching a title sequence from the website Art of the Title. The show is called American Horror Story. There are 8 titles displayed during the opening sequence. The images shown in the opening sequence are mainly creepy images of random things such as embryos in a bottle, bloody knives, monster-like creatures, and dark hallways. The images are very eerie, and create a strong sense of horror. The horror genre is reinforced by the ear-wrenching music and unsettling images. The film establishes enigma by choosing random and scary images. The images don't really seem to make sense together, so it creates a mysterious sense. The film uses the strategy of unnerving images and sounds to attract the attention of people who enjoy creepy horror movies. Technology was used by having close ups on all of the objects shown in the images, and having some shots taken from a low or high angle to show different points of view.
